Abstract

1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine acts as a highly effective catalyst for cyanosilylation of various ketones and aldehydes to the corresponding cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in up to 99% yield. The reaction proceeds smoothly with 0.1 mol % catalyst loading at 25°C under solvent-free conditions.
